Do you mind running the following commands from the python shell?

py> import os
py> os.getcwd()
'/Users/mike'
py> sorted(os.listdir('.'))
['.Trash', 'Applications', 'Desktop', ...]

This will show us what location your python interpreter has as the "current
working directory" and whether or not the "graphics.py" file is present in
that directory.
